a 30% boost in minum fps on a game that has no bench mark, is completely dynaic with spawns, and has an FPS dependent on a server is meaning less, the only way to bench l4d is to make a demo then have different hardware render it there is no way to bench the game while testing a nic, same for UT3. go an hook it up to an iscsi san and do some benching other than that there is little to no way to bench this kind of thing. in the past the killer parts used the same networking parts that u can get from any low end networking hardware that would be in workstation or low load servers. the only good thing that they had was the low latency usb port with its own IO buss but now thats gone i dont see a reason to even look at this. there is a reason why they have a cover on the card they dont want u to see that they used a marvel or intel chip with what i would guess would have a 512KB cashe. if they made a good part then u would see it used in servers and workstations connected to sans as their time per unit is worth more than enough to justify a $200-300 nic.Originally Posted by Hell Hound
i dont know about other people in this thread but i went to school to build and deploy servers/SANs for exchange and other high load enterprise email systems, if there was a reason to use more than a cheap NIC there would be myself and many others who would have them and would go for more than the $30 intel nic for network load or the $70-80 if u have heavy san load for a single port nic.
im sure that the QOS software would make a difference if u maxed out your connection but if u u need to run QOS to limit and even out your upload to not go over your service limit you have a much larger problem on the ISP side and a nic wont fix that.

@xsbb Empty servers lol try a full server and actually playing the game.
i'd be even worse huh lol
Anyways, I'm trying to look for that link where a $40 Intel NIC was just as good as a $300 KillerNIC.
This company reminds me of Monster Cables.

After spending an evening of gaming with and without the Killer NIC and Killer K1 on both our Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista Ultimate test systems it was the unanimously agreed by all that the Killer NIC and Killer K1 is not worth the added $180-$250 cost. The Killer NIC and Killer K1 did reduce our pings and improved frame rates, but by less than 5%.
The difference was so small that no one could correctly tell when the Killer NIC was or wasn't installed in our 'blind' taste test, which was rather alarming. If someone is going to spend $180-$250 on something they better be able to see and notice the difference when they game.
If you really want to improve you ping time take the price of the $250 Killer NIC and upgrade your DSL or cable line to the next level up! The $250 Killer NIC will free up $20.83 a month for a year, which might just be enough to get a faster internet package!
Those are the first ones,not even the xeno's lol.
That was the best unboxing I have ever seen.
Well said. Could not agree more!
thats even worse than intel or marvel to get worse u have to go for a casheless part

Gimmick,
Again, the "network accelerator" will only "accelerate" what it touches, not your modem, the ISP switches, the internet backbone, then the gaming server.
Why are you so defensive about this (crap) product? Why wouldnt you at least give in a bit and talk intelligently about this?
He is likely a paid representative of the company, or works for it.
That being said, while his pitch will not hold water here on XS (As we go by objective data and don't take kindly to marketing posturing), the product is not "crap". It is merely a high end product that is priced disproportionately higher than its actual utility.
It is just like a rolex watch. People who know nothing else about watches will want to purchase one just because it performs well and costs more than something of comparable function. That being said, a rolex is likely a damn good watch, and the killer NIC is a good NIC.
All being said, if it was 40 dollars it would have a decent argument on XS. At its current cost, its nothing but a ludicrous increase in cost for a flashy package.
I think it's because he's from Shillinois...
oh look they took our suggestion.
Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

I don't work for them and is just saying wait for benches.I went from 1.5mb to 16mb and that didn't help with my ping in css.
What does that mean Katy.I will not benefit from making a post about this product.

So please return to the "Darkside of the Moon" and check your "Pulse" while you wait for the "Animals" that will be "Obscured By Clouds". And watch me wave as I say "Wish You Were Here" in "A Momentary Lapse of Reason"
If I am going to buy a workstation NIC for over $200 it better be 10gbit.
It will be $129 usd.
Pretty sure these cards are magic just like magnets... and well worth 300$+
they agree with me
Fail,xenos is $99 usd this one will be $129 usd.
You fail.
Friends shouldn't let friends use Windows 7 until Microsoft fixes Windows Explorer (link)
Make another garbage post like that and this will escalate.
you fail
